Now, I know that it depends on what programs are running, like... whether you have any minimized or in the background, but on an average 1500 mAh/3.7V battery... what is the amount of use time that one can expect...?
Let's start a thread on this subject... listing the type of battery, approximate age of same, the names of the files/programs you run & use in a given day, and the amount of hours of overall use you get before you have to recharge or switch it over to a new/fresh battery. This way, we'll all have a better idea as to what programs really drain the phones, such as when you leave the WiFi and/or Bluetooth "on" all the time - waiting to be used (a sure guarantee to have a dead battery in a matter of hours).
We can subtitle this one under "The Cost of Staying Connected" (not including air-time charges or monthly fees).
i think my battery life is terrible... but its understandable. usually i run wifi and phone all day long.. the only reason i run wifi on all the time is because i have a feeling everytime i don't... somehow i get charged for using evdo (from bell in canada)... but i dont?? its really weird because i used to always get these random charges.. but ever since i kept my wifi on all day everything is all good. i have the original battery that came with my ppc 6700.. and i use the phone around 40-70 minutes of talk time. no real apps running but a few games of solitaire here and there. but if i were to talk non stop it only seems to last like 1hr
my battery life is like 10 hours and i always have to charge it when i get home from work or school or ill be doomed the next day
Since upgrading to WM6 (thanks helmi), my battery life has found NEW life. I used to have to charge it everyday: no wifi, 50% brightness, screen off in < 1min, etc. Since upgrading, I can run it at 100% brightness, screen off in 2min, and I don't have to charge it every day.
This is with the factory battery, and an eBay replacement sometimes used.
always running: freestyl (flashlite), sms threader, mbutton
phone is usually locked with s2u2
most use it usually gets is me checking the time
update rom from verizon, .net 3.5
ever since i updated the rom, it seems like i only get <24 hours per full charge (battery purchased less than a month ago)
w/o wifi or bt i get about 3 days however it depends on what version of windows are you running have you guys updated to the new 6.1 or 6.5 biulds?
My battery life its very short but, i use my apache with core play at my car with my kids plus the wifi, and blue with hand free, soo i've to conected every day, and i'm use 2batterys
original battery... i got 3 days on standby.. and 2 days in normal call usage...
but
with wifi my battery gets drained to the bone in 40 minutes LOL
thats all =D
About twenty minutes. I know I need a new battery >_>
... that and that I'm surprised I've got over 240 hours clocked in the lifetime call timer.
Using a 2600mAh 3.7v Battery
I had my extended battery for about 2 months now.....
TCPMP:Battery life is close to 5 hours on the lowest brightness level using headphones & on speaker mode I get about 3 1/2 hours.
Making Calls: I sometimes spend about 2 to 3 hours on the phone & that leaves the battery to about 70% or 60%.
Wifi: I don't use it for a very long time, but when I do it could be about 1 hour and that can leave my battery to about 80% to 70% when done.
Videogames: I use mainly the Morpheus(emu) usually about 20 to 30 mins and only seems to leave it close to 90%..
With random use I normally have to charge the battery every 2 or 3 days... I play with the phone quite a bit tho! Mostly text messaging (turning it on & off about 20 to 30 times daily).
With my 2 normal batteries? I think they need to be discarded soon lol!!!!!!! Wifi will deplete them(each) in about 4 or 5 mins tops!!! TCPMP about 10mins(screen on at its lowest with speaker) & 15 mins max(with headphones & screen at its lowest brightness)... Phone Calls? about 20mins tops(with the screen turned off)!!!!
So.... I strongly recommend the extended battery on Ebay for about $22(shipping included) so that you can enjoy the phone alot more!!!
I try not to keep the phone on the charger until the battery has depleted to about 20% when the warning comes on and fully charge it always!
I want to see how your X1's doing on performance. Please post your battery life with ur daily usage here please
For myself, i ran it only for a few days n i may have to get an extra battery to work...
phone fully charged by wall charger from 12am last night to 7am this morning (i know the crappy stuff about charging it thru PC, so i decided to go with wall charger).
unplugged at 7am
7am - 9am: phone was on without usage - wifi, bluetooth, everythings off
(battery bar from FULL to 80%)
9am - 11am: windows media player with connection for live radio online
(battery bar from 80% to 40%)
11am to 2:45pm: media player panel for mp3 usage, listening to mp3 nonstop with a few short phone calls
(battery bar empty and it shut off itself)
so i have total of 5 hours and 45 minutes of usage of the phone from 9am to 2:45pm, other than that it was just sitting turned on from 7am to 9am
Is it normal? please post urs here to do a little comparison!
Fully charged with the phone off overnight, 8 hours later without any usage (just checked the clock a few times) kept me at 100% battery level.
However, using the internet to browse through regular websites consistently and running Fring at the same time runs my battery from 100% to completely shut down in 3 hours and 45 minutes or so.
Today:
Fully charged and unplugged @ 10am
Surfed the web 30 minutes (opera 9.5)
Skype ~10 minutes (text messaging)
Checked mails (2 accounts) every 60 minutes = 10 times until 8pm
~20 minutes phone calls
all with HSDPA
battery level now 1:17 am, after 15 hours, 60%.
So, yes. Its normal and I think any other phone will behave the same with 2 hours listening to online radio + ~3 hours mp3 playback + few short phone calls.
Charged about 8h overhight, unplugged at 10am in the morning, bluetooth on all day, synchronized with bluetooth watch mbw-150 for all day, listening music over bluetooth stereo headset for about half hour, phone calls 35 minutes, turned on display many times over all day and in the evening at midnight, after 14 hours of usage I have more then 60% battery so not bad I think.
Battery life
Well my phone really is inconsistent. I keep forgetting to load it at night and i will be empty the next morning as long as bluetooth is on. No matter how full it was in the evening.
I do use it all day with bluetooth and about 1 hour phone calls a day over bluetooth + Outlook used a lot. It will be almost empty in the evening.
Bluetooth really is pulling the battery down.
ya, hmm maybe cause by network we are in... maybe some network require stronger use of battery to get reception... for this i cant really tell cause im not an expert...
by the way, im in US using ATT.
feel better now though by knowing its normal for a pda phone, actually its my first, used to play mp3 all day with sony's phone, lol
i know turning all programs and connection off will reduce use of battery, but is there ways to really make it run a little longer?
sidenote: my theme is Today, and i also make sure that nothing running in task manager...
Perhaps it has something to do with the radio ROM?
anyone? no hints?
Connected to EDGE, BT (syncing with car stereo only) and WLM 24/7 with about and hour or two worth of calls and viewing & answering sms/emails my battery lasts about 3 days.
Connected to EDGE, BT (syncing with car stereo only), WLM 24/7 with about 20 minutes worth of calls, viewing & answering sms/emails and listening to mp3's with the screen on with the backlight dimmed lasts from about 6-7 hours.
Connected to EDGE, BT (syncing with car stereo only), WLM 24/7 with about 20 minutes worth of calls, viewing & answering sms/emails and listening to mp3's with the screen off lasts from about 10-15 hours
charged th phone overnight swiched off, on at 8:00 MBW-150 and bt headset connected 2 hours of calls. no wifi or internet browsing, 3g and HSDPA off. and at the end of the day after normal use 23:00 battery was almost dry.....
100% in the morning @ 7:00 am charged all night using wall charger
HSDPA (or Edge depending on converage) all the time with Microsoft Push Email
10 to 20 SMSes per day
2 to 3 hours phone call
RSS feeds syncing every 1 hour using RSS HUB.
Bluetooth ON 24/7 in connectable mode, connected to BT headset (not sterio) and BT watch (MBW-150) using smartWatchM
10 to 15 Minutes of WiFi
i reach 10:00pm and the battery on 20 or 30%.
if i reduce phone calls (1 to 1.5 hours) i get 40 to 50% @ 10:00pm
this is a great battery life for me, i love it. the battery is affected by the current FW you are using and how many applications are running in the background (doing stuff not sleeping).
i use R2AA10.
Cheers
Alarm rings at 6:00.
Usage 6:00 - 16:00:
Two or three phone calls with a length of one minute or two.
Email checking for 3 accounts every 30minutes (HSDPA).
10 to 20 text-messages (receive and write).
Half an hour listening to music with headphones.
Usage 16:00 - 0:00:
Two or three phone calls with a length of one minute or two.
Email checking for 3 accounts every 30minutes (EDGE).
10 to 20 text-messages (receive and write).
Quarter an hour of W-Lan while searching the internet for updates to my programs.
Usage 0:00 - 6:00:
Standy with flightmode.
The battery drains each day for about 20%, so I charge the battery each 4th day (it should last one more day but you never know what's coming to drain your battery during the day )
I'm on YYYYY's german Manilla ROM
Hi,
New here, my first post.
Am using the latest update from SonyEricsson website.
No matter for how long I charge my phone never shows "Completely charged" status all the time its in "Charging" mode.
I have observed that it consumes more charge on using playing music, browsing, using Java tools, and if Bluetooth is kept on.
Take it off charge at 0700
3-4 hours internet use.
Podcast download and RSS feed checking + dl... (varies in a day depending on Podcast available or not and whats new)
Loads of sms
about an hour of phone calls
about 4 hours or so of reading/vocab practice (using Plecodict, a Chinese language tool)
after 2-3 days like this it needs charging again (40-20% depending on podcast dl)
Let it charge over night.
Lasts about 2 full days.
Make few calls, lots of texts, checks emails every 15 min and updates weather every 4hrs.
Also updates stocks, rss and other stuff.
Use facebook panel once a day.
After reading this thread i am a bit confused. I have My X1 for 10 days now, and it never held the whole day, which makes me want ma E90 back...
Couse the usage is just the same, maybe a little more WLM.
I have mails checking every 5 mins, no WIFI, or BT. AND 24/7 WLM connected, with 5 hours typing or more.
And i gues it is thy typing that consumes battery. Somehow X1 3" screen consumes twice the power of E90 4" screen? That just doesn't make sense. G2 or G3 doesn't realy matter. Well only little.
Will try for the first time tommorow without WLM.
Or Maybe WLM with me turning the screen of and relying on sound notification, instead of checking the screen all the time.
Still big downside for me, regarding the battery. Even E90 was at EDGE, couse, UMTS did not hold it whole day. God damm it we have battery tehnology from 100 years back...
can those with good battery life please post the rom and radio rom u are using?
thanks
Hi guys ,just to make sure about my battery on jade, issit normal having a 2 bar left at around 0930pm after a full charge on yesterday at around 12 noon?
What I mean is :
Last full charge:
12:03pm May 11 2009
Today May 12 is:
17% left(using ariel battery)
which is 2 bar/10 bar battery...
Since last full charge is:
Standby time:28.7hour
Talk time:8 minutes
Device usage:
5hour 35 mins...
I usually play games
Listen to music around 1 hr....
Ok, first of all, even if the topic is VERY important for you, there is no need for a DOUBLE POSTING. This will annoy others, and is not helpfull for the overview of the forum.
Now to your concern:
Did you check this thread? And check out GProfile as well.
Finally, I can only say that with my device the battery management got better with the ROM UPDATE of 14th of April 2009. Do you have this already?
Finally, consider that during playing 5,5hrs the screen is lighted all the time...

I think that is pretty impressive, not something to complain about. My last phone would have lasted half that.
When I first had mine I had unique switched on that searches and connects to wifi signals. My battery lasted just over a day.
However once I switched this off the battery lasts for ages. A full charge will still be showing full at the same time the next day and with low use will last around 4 days.
Go to your setting, communications manager and make sure unique is off and see if this helps. If you connect to wifi make sure you switch it off again afterwards.
Come on guys, this is a smartphone. Some people dont use all features, so the battery lasts longer. I got gmail with 10min interval setup and hotmail with delivery on arrival, so in my case just the data-connection kills the battery in one day.
I dont think there is a possibility to give a certain advice of how the battery shall last longer... As each one of us is using this device on his own way...
What kills be battery:
1. WiFi
2. 3G
3. Screenlight on (playing on the device)
4. etc etc

It seems, 5 hours 35 min dev usage within 28 hours stand by duration performance is quite good.
I myself can not reach at such device usage performance..
Hei all of you
It seems that the legend has been released to some people, and i was wondering what you guys get out of the battery.
I am currently on a Diamond 2, with 1100 Mha battery, and currently get 1½ day out of this, and i want this to be an improvement. The legend, with 1300Mha, OLED screen and newer cpu, sounds like it will be a lot better, but some review mentions the battery life to be really bad.
I am using my phone for 20 text messages, psuh mail, no phone calls and only visit a few websites on 3G. No bluetooth, wifi or GPS. What can i expect of this?
i'm sorry if my English is not good enough,
but i've the HTC legend since Friday, and Saturday i did a simple test, i put the mobile phone to charge Friday night, Saturday about 12:00 pm i disconnected the charger and i've turned the wi-fi, gps,and bluetolth off, only the 3G network was on.
I had also ebuddy running on the background, after 4 hours i didn't touched the phone, and my battery was about the 25%
And the full charge time was almost 2 hours.... i went back to the shop where i bought the phone, they changed my battery and the did a hard reset.
The battery performance is now a little bit better, but it has not the same performance as the iphone 3gs.

I think the first time you run your phone it will consume the most power. So it's not the right time to test. I suggest you fully charge and fully consume the battery 2-3 times and then put it for a test.
Full capacity of a battery shows up after 2 months.
You will pass from 1 day to 3 days
So here is one short statistic after second charging.
14% of energy left in the battery after:
39 hours since last charging
2 hours of display on (35% of energy)
37 hours of phone connected to the cell (36% of energy)
13 minutes of calls (13% of energy)
Phone used for me "as normal" - cca. 10 SMS, 2 hours of mp3 and FM radio, one hour of net surfing, running sync with Gmail and Google Calendar.
Yes, it is period of 1-3 months to get full capacity of the battery, but in first few usage, you can fully charge and discharge battery.
I have a one day of full usage of the phone (wifi always on, twitter, e-mails, calls etc.)
Getting better
It's getting slowly better with each charging, second week and I'm on two days. Everyone is using it in a different manner, but my battery improved for about a 70%.
got the legend now for 2 weeks and loving it.
Battery life is good, don't expect to go 2 days intensive use without recharge but no phone with these function have this.
I can easily go with one to two day with occasional wifi, gps use and keep 3g or sync on settled on 1 hour intervals while playing some games using apps etc
Blue tooth i haven;t tried but like any phone the power munchers are wifi, blue tooth gps and 3g.
wifi should save lots of power compared to network operator connection
i use wifi at office, and with extensive usage, i can get about 8 hours straight, that is pretty heavy, the screen barely got to sleep
I have tested the battery in plain sleep.
If the device has wifi off and mobile data off (and no sync, ofcourse) i guess it lasts for a week - 10 days. But then you cant use wifi or mobile data.
If you only let it be in stand-by (screen locked and off, no data or wifi or gps or bt) it last quite long, probably close to the stated 300-400 hours in the manual.
In real life that translates to 3-5% battery drain (tested by me for 24h, only sent 2 sms and talked on phone for 2 minutes) per day.
But in normal use, wifi will drain 5-10% battery per hour and 3g/gprs with autosync drains 2-5% per hour depending on net.
No device lasts for more then a day or two if you acctualy use the device.
I have had my Legend for a week and a half now and the battery life is also getting better with each passing day. I can easily use it for a day and a half with quite a lot of WiFi browsing, and up to 30 or 40 minutes of call time. I'm really loving this phone!

Hi fellow Legenders,
i've had the phone for 4 days now. i am having issues with my battery. I have noted some points that i'll share & hopefully find a resolution for my dismal batt life. I have bluettoh on all the time, but it shows very little drain based on BT alone. Other than that, this phone ROCKS!
After full 8hr charge, the phone lasted approx. 13hrs 38mins before reaching critical level with the following findings:
On 08 April 2010
1. Voice calls used 50% batt – 36mins 11s call time.
2. Display on approx. 30% brightness used 21% batt – on for 1hr 10mins 15s
3. Cell standby on 3G used 16% batt – on for 13hrs 38mins (no signal 1%)
4. Phone idle used 8% - on for 12hrs 28mins
5. Bluetooth used 5% - on for 13hrs 28mins
After normal charge till batt 100% (about 3hrs), the phone lasted 15hrs 12mins 41s before reaching critical level
On 9th April 2010
1. Cell standby on 2G used 50% - on for 15hrs 12mins 41s (no signal 3%)
2. Display on aprrox 30% brightness used 18% - on for 29mins 35s
3. Phone idle used 15% batt – on for 14hrs 43mins 5s
4. Voice calls used 10% batt – on for 4mins 14s
5. Bluetooth used 7% - on for 15hrs 12mins 41s
Looking forward to better batt life as the days go by.
cheers,
Su
Very poor battery life for me.It has 7-8 hours stand-by.
1.Every 5 mins e-mail control.
2.Weather with auto update.
3.Friend stream.
4.Background data and auto sync.
5.Enable always-on mobile data
6.3G
I don't understand whats going on.If i left device when i go sleep with full battery after 7-8 hours i look it.It shows me only left %35 battery.
After disable all auto-uptade and 3g its over 1 days.
My hd2 had 1230 mah battery and super big screen and 1ghz processor.It was using %10 with same usage.
Legend has 1300 mah battery and small screen and 600 mhz processor.It uses %65.
Can anyone explain this sucks status?
I m using the legend... and a hd2 as my other device. would say the battery life for the legend is really dismal...

I am happy to report that my phone batt life has improved tremendously since my last charge. I installed OS monitor & checked to see what might be hogging the batt, & discovered some program was keeping my CPU running inthe high 70's & above continuously. I killed that program, fully charged my phone till 100%, restarted the phone for good measure, & with BT on permanently, more than an hour of wifi usage, about half an hour of phone calls & about 30 smses, after 24hrs, i still had about 24% batt left.
So it has definitely improved by leaps. Hope that helps others who have similar problems.
cheers,
Su
it will be good if you can share what's causing the high cpu usage ...
Oh sorry i forgot. it was OpenWatch for BT watches. It has a problem currently with HTC Legend & SE MBW-150. It doesn't have the full functionality as yet for some reason. The reason it ran the CPU load up, was because i had turned off my watch by accident & set the program to search & connect to the watch. My folly really.
cheers,
Su

Nice battery time
I've bought and charged my phone last Thursday. GSM only, using WIFI every day for 15-20 minutes, 10-15 min talk, and it's still at 35-40% after 5 days. I've got a magic battery or what?

Hi Guys! and Gals..
Wondering hows your battery life?? Can you make it through a day Ok? I have a touch pro on Sprint and battery life stinks in the worse way.
Last time I checked, it went 13hrs until 31%.
I usually use it for around 90minutes continously reading or web browsing during my commute. There is also 4-5hrs (or more daily) during which I only get 1-2bars of receptions, so it drains battery faster. There was probably also a 30-40minute phone call using bluetooth.
I can go an 10-12 hour day with light use:
45 mins of phone and text (no bluetooth)
20 mins phone (bluetooth)
30 mins misc.
30 mins games.
20 texts.
Data on about 8 hours without Wifi and 4 on (N enabled)
1 hour browsing, emails etc.
30 mins with Microsoft Reader.
Probably a little more.
Also syncing a lot with calendars.
Not bad, but I feel like it could be better.
t-mobile usa.
I have 75% by end of the day
Adjust your PEAK TIMES for ActiveSync, that way your device isn't consistently trying to allocate resources to collect data such as emails.
Screen brightness, system volume, hibernating times, etc.
ALL OF THOSE are key factors in how quickly your battery will be drained. Anything involving the on-screen display is what will quickly deplete available battery life on a single charge. That may seem very "cliche" to say, but the fact is, this device has a 4.3-inch screen, so it's a power hog.
For today, it's been 17.5hrs since I unplugged and the phone has been mostly sitting except for a few occasional brief checks of the phone, 30minute email syncs, and a 15 minute phone call. It's at 40% battery after the 17.5hrs.
It did drop around 20% in the first 6hrs since the phone was in an area of horrible 0-1 bar reception. The rest of the time has been 2-3 bar reception.
17.5 hours @ 40%... are you serious?
My TMOUS HD2 has never gone more than 8 hours on a full battery charge. This is with "normal" usage. Regular email checks, activesync with direct push.
Comming from the Blackberry Bold II with 13-15 hours of battery under normal usage patters, the HD2 is VERY WEAK!!!.
I'm contemplating sacraficing the sleak look of the phone for the extended battery.
Anyone have the ex battery? How's your battery life?

If you need direct push in your life, then I suggest changing 3G to EDGE network.
Difference is quite noticeable.
It sucks,and if you want better battery life don't use it.I returned mine after 48hrs.
All the advice is great,but....
-If I have go from 3G to EDGE.
-Lower the brightness almost to the minimum.
-Set activesync up.....What is the point of having so much technology? if I can not use because the phone dies.
I need real time email and 3G to work,plus all the stupid menus that windows mobile still has made me change my mind.Microsoft has been in the market for a bunch of years and winmo still sucks.
Do not get to impressed with the HD and the movies,cause the thing dies in no time.
Don't buy it and stick with android.
I end the day with about 60% battery life left with mild-medium usage. A few phone calls, some maps/gps, active sync every 4 hours, facebook every 2 hours, weather every 3 hours.
VERY happy with battery life on this phone
i went all day yesterday (my first day with it) so i used it alot, took it of the charger, at 7:30am, and plugged it in last night at 10:00 and it was at 39%. that was BEFORE i turned off 3g(i dont get 3g in my area) so this hd2 blows the iphone battery out of the water....IMHO
my last device was blackberry 8900.
that thing lasted 3 days with moderate use. compared to that, 15 hour limit does suck, and there are times I don't want to use the phone to conserve the battery, which makes rage, but oh well. now I always carry an extra battery in my pocket, so that's a bit better. but that doesn't make it okay.
with the 3g off, wifi off, auto back light,running the energy rom apr 9. unplug on 9 am use about 100 sms and 10 minutes phone call with all the auto data off,just manual check weather and email twice still have 80% after 3pm.
turn off voice commends - this will help
Its getting better
I have recently done a few things to help the battery. I adjusted the the screen brightness to a comperable setting that a friend of mine has his set to on his iphone3gs I did not do anything to the 3g settings or anything like that. I set me email to sync every 4 hours. But my hotmail I just click send/receive and sync it myself. I play music all day on my phone. Check twitter internet facebooks while music is playing and a lot of texting over a hundred sent and recieved daily. Before I made a few tweeks it would kinda die quickly but now it appears to be a lot better.
My batter DOES NOT LAST FOR CRAP!!!!! I took it off charge at 8:13 and at 10:30 i checked my phone, it went from 100 percent to 81 percent. HOW DOES IT GO DOWN 19 percent in 2 hours when i didnt even USE the phone, i just hit the backlight to check the time, this battery is unacceptable everytime i check the phone the percent has dropped

HOW DOES IT GO DOWN 19 percent in 2 hours when i didnt even USE the phone, i just hit the backlight to check the time, this battery is unacceptable everytime i check the phone the percent has dropped

Do you leave 3G turned on? Do you have your e-mail and/or weather checking themselves automatically?
The phone can certainly be doing things that consume the battery, even if you're not manually handling it at the time.
I don't understand why battery life seems to differ so much from phone to phone. My battery life is excellent and I use it a lot. I do have to charge it every night but I expect that from a smartphone. It always lasts me throughout the day with music, videos, calls, texts and web use on 3g. I couldn't be happier with the battery life of my phone.
PLEASE give me good tips how to save battery? BTW im using ENERGY's latest rom with cookie 1.7. i dont understand why i have to stop my email and turn off 3g when this phone is MEANT for these features. theres no point of a having an excellant phone when you cant use its features to its full potentiol without having it die within 10 hours( with moderate use)
Battery is weird
The other day i charged my hd2 fully then got on an airplane all connections were watch from paris with love which looks great on the phone landed after an hour and a half and my battery life was down to 15 percent i think i might have a bad battery when i am in the car i leave it on the charge and when i am in the hotels that i stay in it stays on the charge or plugged into my laptop and thoughts??
